Question:

1501680 Buyers Products Truck Bed Rack: Product states it is 28.5 inches tall. Has anyone up there put a 16 foot canoe on the rack to see if the boat still clears the roof of a F250 Superduty or not? I have a Mohawk and Old Town canoe that curve a little.

Expert Reply:

While we have not personally loaded a 16' canoe on the Buyers Products Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops # 3371501680 and checked the clearance with the roof on a 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty, this is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and will work just fine.

The crossbars that your canoe would mount to do not sit on the roof, but rather 27" from the truck bed rails to the bottom of the crossbars.

Like I mentioned earlier, this ladder rack is confirmed to fit your truck, however if you wanted to make sure your self you can measure from the top of your bed rails up 27" and see if that clears your roof.

Similarly, we have installed this on a 2020 Ford F-250, and I have attached the installation video for you to check out.

Finally, if you're looking for a canoe carrier, I recommend checking out the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, SUP, and Canoe Carrier with Tie Downs # MAL38FR.

This carrier can carry up to 1 canoe, 2 kayaks, or SUPs weighing a maximum of 75-lbs per boat. This carrier will easily mount to the crossbars on the Buyers Truck Bed Ladder Rack, as well as other round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars.
